Truth be Told

short and sweet...sometimes one thought is enough. What's better than family?

I have long arms…

I don’t know why

I have long arms

but I do,

 

and I’m proud.

 

Everyone should have

what I have…

It would make

hugging each other

so much better…

 

and last

so much longer.

This poem brought a little smile to my face! (This poem kinda reminds me of how I'm willing to give high-fives to people occasionally whenever I feel a connection with them over anything.) Physical connections can always amplify unity among people, since they're tangible.

Interesting, lovely..Simply brilliant! Eh, I wish that too, that everybody could hug more, from heart, so much that you can feel a pure love. Wonderfully penned, thanks for sharing! :D
